SERP Snippet Preview

Google truncates by pixel width, not character count, so there is no exact number — but a title around 50–60 characters and a description around 120–155 usually fit on desktop. This tool measures the real pixel width of your text and shows where each is cut off, which is more reliable than counting characters because a title full of wide letters like W and M runs out of room sooner.

Because letters are different widths — an “i” takes far less space than a “W”. Google renders the snippet at a fixed width and cuts whatever no longer fits, so two titles with the same character count can truncate at different points. The preview here uses a canvas to measure the actual rendered width, matching that behaviour closely.

Google uses different fonts, sizes and container widths on desktop and mobile results, so the same title can fit on one and get cut on the other. Toggle the Desktop / Mobile switch to check both — a title that reads fine on a laptop sometimes loses its most important words on a phone.

No. Google frequently rewrites titles and descriptions to better match a query, so treat this as the best-case preview of what you have asked for. A well-written, correctly-sized title and description are more likely to be used as-is, which is exactly what this tool helps you check.

No. The title, URL and description you type are measured and rendered entirely in your browser — nothing is fetched and nothing you enter leaves the page.
